how do i convet the chrome trim on my car to black?
I have a 2002 BMW 5 series and i want to convert all of the chrome trim around the windows to black. I was just wondering where i could purchase new trim or how i can convert it to black.
Thanks
could i just buy the trim from the dealer?
people do it all the time. its cheaper to do it yourself and make it black. preparation is KEY! take off the crome...sand it down ..to the point there is not shine. make sure its all scuff marks. Then hit it with a spray can Primer. spray it down with a thin coat. let it dry...then hit it again with another coat of primer...let it dry....give it a day . then spray it black with spray can (1 thin coat first). then let dry, hit it with another coat of spray paint. let dry for a day or two ..and then you should be good to go
preparation is the key in making it look good, and lasting long without chips and peeling. i've done this on my chrome bumpers and i've also done this on my alloy wheels. many people have done this and results are great if you prepare correctly (sand / scuff down pretty good and hard, using heavy grit eventually moving into finer grits. then 2 coats of primer. (the longer u let dry the better) . then 2 or 3 coats of paint (the longer u let dry in between the better)
you can buy the spray can primer at your autopart store or home depot. same with spray can paint
